The new Netflix series "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" just dropped, and it's shining a spotlight on one of Hollywood's most heartbreaking closet stories - Anthony Perkins, the man who gave us Norman Bates in "Psycho."

Here's what they don't tell you in film history classes: Perkins underwent electroshock conversion therapy in the 1970s, desperately trying to "cure" his homosexuality after studios made it clear his career depended on being straight.

He'd already been forced to end his relationship with Tab Hunter in the 1950s when Paramount's president personally objected to his sexuality.

The studio literally promoted him in romantic roles opposite Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren to manufacture a heterosexual image while his real life stayed hidden. At one point, he told the draft board he was a "practicing homosexual" to avoid military service - then spent decades hiding that same truth to survive in Hollywood.

The Netflix series portrays Perkins (Joey Pollari plays him) as a young gay man crushed by 1950s Hollywood homophobia, forever linked to serial killer Ed Gein through his most famous role. There's a tragic irony here - Perkins played cinema's most iconic psychopath while being tormented by an industry that forced him to live a lie.

He married at 41 (partly to protect his career), and when he was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1990, he kept it completely secret for two years, terrified that Hollywood would never hire him again. He died from AIDS-related pneumonia in 1992 at age 60, still hiding.

We are changing approach, Children of the Popcorn. We are going to be looking at more antiquarian works as well as the unknown, obscure and underrated. To begin this dark path, Hist-Horror-Ical era, we are going right back to the beginning with the silent spectacle that is cited as the first ever Horror film committed to celluloid. Yes, it's Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès', "Le Manoir du Diable", otherwise knows as Georges Méliès', The House of the Devil (1896). 💀🍿
